Definitely a B list style movie... It's not the greatest but it's interesting like the head line says... It's a good laugh for a horror style movie!

This pos-modern slasher knows its stuff but doesn't make it great. It's still pretty good though. It plays all the 80s Slasher tropes well, and even discusses them like Scream thanks to Alyson Hannigan's Randy-esque character Chuck (short for Charlotte). There's a camp in the woods, a masked killer, some gorgeous young counsellors, everything you need to have a good time. The premise is Given away fairly early on, but its still interesting to see whete they go from there. It does however get a little repetetive at times. But its definitely worth a watch for Slasher fans and meta humour fans too.

I'm not going to spoil this film with my review, or cover the information already explained on the movie's page. There is gore, but nothing to keep up with what typical gorehounds (myself included) would be satisfied with. The gore and kills are very akin to the 80's slasher flicks on their first installments, before they became franchises notorious for gratuitous dismemberment and disturbing brutality (which is why we all loved them). This film has good (intentionally bad/b) acting and a very quirky vibe to it. It's not a 'bad' movie, but maybe I went into it a little too smart. The concept of the narrative follows a 'recap' situation. Every time some dialogue happens, there's a recap where someone explains something from earlier in the narrative. The only problem with this is, if you pay attention, they're just re-using footage you've seen from before and playing through the entire scene again. About 30 minutes of this movie, maybe more, are re-played scenes. It makes an hour and a half feel like two and a half hours for me. I started skipping the scenes, knowing it would be the same exact dialogues and camera angles. There's one scene that I think plays over four times in this movie, alone. If they had chosen different angles and re-shot the footage with more elaboration or details that we didn't already know, I would have given this a higher rating, but still expected more brutality, given that it's a throwback to the exploitation buzz of the 80's horror. It isn't a waste of time, but given how many horror films I've seen, it wasn't refreshing in my opinion. I still would check out anything the director works on, going forward.

This was a really clever film i think, and not like anything i´ve ever seen before. Cool story, and the way it was produced really had me enjoying it.

Hope to see more from this director

I was pretty excited when I stumbled upon this title. The style looked like fun and there have been some great 'homage with a twist' slashers over the last few years.

There is a reason this one went by the wayside.. It isn't good. The brief synopsis I read was accurate. An unoriginal slasher story premise but with the promise of some nostalgic/retro retro vibes and perhaps a surprise or two.

Unfortunately there are no surprises, only empty promises. The tired paint by numbers approach to horror and the Buzzfeed 'Top Ten Great visual story telling tips' were all followed closely, but with zero imagination. The overused VHS preset filters got old very quickly and the characters were predictable in a less than flattering way.

It was great to see Alyson Hannigan playing such a familiar character and this alone is probably the only reason I couldn't score this lower.

The movie plays like a college movie media project if the students were inexplicably given a rather large budget and a short time to finish. You have to ask yourself, how do some of these amateurs get greenlit in the first place?

Bottom line: This is your standard slasher film done in a different way.

By nature syfy channel original movies are pretty crap, because they're done cheaply and seemingly written by 12 year olds, but this one pleasantly surprised me. Granted, I had low expectations, but whereas most syfy originals I either turn off halfway through or fall asleep to, this one I stayed till the very end. I even went so far as to recommend it to friends. Imagine that! There's a fine line between doing a funny horror movie and doing a cheesy horror movie, and this one tread that line very well. If you're looking for an actual scary movie, this isn't it. But if you're in the mood for something fun and different, this one is a must watch.

Waaait! I don't mean as good as Scream!

But! This one follows the rules of horror, it acknowledges them, it plays by them and also delivers! You see, it has a premise kinda similar to Scream, best and closest movie to do so that I've seen, even tho Cabin in the Woods managed a wonderful approach to this self aware genre, I think YMBtK is even more faithful. It pays homage to plenty of other horrors before it and even one that is my personal favorite but I am not going to ruin it for you guys, yet I am going to point it out just a little and see how many of you get it: When Hanging From A Tree! (soundtrack alone!)

Moving on: Nice acting, great actor picks, very comedically humorous dialogue as Michael Scott might say, and a lovely execution. All in all a MUST see to any horror fans out there, of course, bare in mind this more of a black comedy than pure horror. The death kills are ok, the usual slasher blunt force trauma or plain ol' stabs wrapped around a little mystery.

I didn't have this much fun since Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon .

Cheers!

A nice spin on the horror franchise that has had it's run of the same slasher films. Very predicable but worth the B horror scene watch.

This movie is definitely not funny in any way, I can't believe that there's some horror fans find it good, they tried to do something but it ended up so stupid and boring, 'The Final Girls' is absolutely much better. I need back the hour that I've wasted while watching this movie!!

An interesting take on the typical summer camp slasher movie genre. Not quite sure how I feel about this one. Well done special effects ( Big fan of Face Off so I can appreciate the work that went into them ). Somewhat disjointed in the scene changes, but it is worth a watch

Really, really stupid movie. Wasting money and time. I read the good reviews about this movie, seems like movie employees writing a good review to keep this wasting time production high rate. Totally stupid. Never fall again.

I just had to post how stupid the ending was to warn people from investing time into the movie. The whole point of this movie, to me, was to change up the genre. It did that up until the last 2 minutes and then decided to throw it out the window.

I'm a huge horror fan and I love Syfy so I was excited to see this. It was quite entertaining. I am definitely going to be watching this one again. It is definitely worth watching!

It was bad and good at the same time, It just felt like a Friday the 13th parody with a supernatural part. Some of the deaths were pretty entertaining.

The average score is finally coming done, after real reviews are coming in. This movie is a bore. Not interesting, not funny, not crafty, not good.

It's a horrible mish mash of loud sounds screaming in place of an intelligent script.

Not what I was expecting. Fun nostalgia movie with a few fun twists. I enjoyed it. Really liked the ending.
